I think this is a Wonderful Idea!!! Cape Cod and all it's lighthouses hold a special place in my heart. I hope it happens!

To "Complete the unofficial Cape Cod Series", Harbour Lights would have to put out:

1. Race Point, Provincetown
2. Wood End, Provincetown
3. Long Point Light, Provincetown
4. The Three Sisters, Nauset Beach
5. Beach Point Light(Sandy Neck), Barnstable
6. Point Gammon, West Yarmouth (Privately owned now)
7. Monomoy Point
8. Mayo Beach Light, Wellfleet (1838) (only keepers house remains)
9. Wing Neck, Bourne (1849)(privately owned)
10. South Hyannis, Hyannisport (1849) (privately owned)
11. Bass River, West Dennis (1855) Privately owned over 50 years - now the Lighthouse Inn

12. Stage Harbor, Chatham (1880) now a private residence

This does not include lights yet to be made on Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands. Some argue that The Cape encompasses more than just the 'arm and shoulder' of land, but also the Cape Cod Bay 'inside the arm' and Buzzards Bay 'below the armpit' which brings in many more lights yet to be made.

Still others on the Cape & Islands are long gone and could qualify for the "GLOP" series.

My source and an excellent book on all the Historic Cape Cod lights is "America's Landfall; the historic lights of Cape Cod, Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard" by Donald W. Davidson. 1996 The Peninsula Press, Cape Cod. ISBN 1-883684-09-9 (Available from Lighthouse Depot and other fine stores).
